Occasionally, because Bedico Creek Preserve is such a popular neighborhood on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, Louisiana, we will have newspaper, magazine, and online articles and blogs written about our master-planned community. We feature these articles in our Press Room area. Also, we sometimes create press releases for special news and events that are happening at Bedico Creek Preserve. You can find all of this information, plus make media inquiries all right here in our Press Room.

Temperatures were not the only thing on the rise this summer. According to CNN, New home sales rose in July from the month before, beating estimates and reaching a 17-month high, as buyers continue to look to new construction as an option in the face of a historically low supply of existing homes.
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Census Bureau reported that sales for new homes were up 31.5% from the summer of 2022. Newly constructed home sales rose to 4.4% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 714,000.
Many are concerned that this might change due to the rise in home prices, and the rise in mortgage rates. In fact, existing home sales are down from Summer 2022. Those in the industry are not as concerned with new home sales.
“Household formation continues to outpace new construction which has continued to bolster the market despite the multitude of headwinds,” says Kelly Mangold of RCLCO Real Estate Consulting.
“With the median price of a new home running close to that of an existing home, many homebuyers are opting for the benefits of fresh floor plans, better energy efficiency and a warranty,” said George Ratiu, chief economist at Keeping Current Matters, a real estate market insights company. “Builders are bringing a growing number of new single-family homes to market, focused on meeting the needs of an affordability-constrained consumer.”

The annual LEAP exam scores came out and according to the Department of Education, St. Tammany Public Schools tied for fifth in the state. This was counted by the students’ scores that were mastery or above. Forty-five percent of the students in St. Tammany Parish and Plaquemines Parish scored above or mastery in English language arts, math, science and social studies last school year.
Other Parishes in the state scored well which included St. Charles at 42%, St. Bernard at 35%, Jefferson at 28%, Orleans at 24% and St. John the Baptist at 19%. In the whole state, 33% of Louisiana students scored mastery which means they are ready for the next grade level. The scores for the test are graded on five levels which are unsatisfactory, approaching basic, basic, mastery or advanced.
“Our students are making amazing progress and we are so proud of the work the teachers and kids have done to grow LEAP scores in our district. To demonstrate this amount of growth as one of the 10 largest school districts, with more than 37,000 students, is incredible. It truly showcases the dedication of our teachers and the effort of our students,” says Superintendent Frank Jabbia.
